How Do You Spell CHECKER?

Pronunciation: [t͡ʃˈɛkə] (IPA)

The word "checker" is spelled with the letter combination "ck" instead of simply "k" because it follows the rule of the "short vowel, consonant doubling" spelling pattern. In this case, the "c" and "k" work together to form a single sound /k/, which is followed by a short vowel sound represented by the letter "e". The IPA phonetic transcription of "checker" is /ˈtʃɛkər/, with the stress on the first syllable and the final sound represented by the letters "er" being pronounced as /ər/.
